Required by POSIX, but some older shells don't handle it well.  Solaris
/bin/sh appears to just ignore it.  Older ash gives output that cannot be
reparsed as valid commands.

>       COMMAND | . /dev/fd/0

Depends on the file system providing it.  But named fifos might be more
widely supported; does this look any better?

mkfifo fifo
(COMMAND >fifo)&
. fifo
rm fifo

> Can't you use? COMMAND | sh +x

No, that always sets +x in the child shell, even when it was not set in
the parent.

Or, one other idea:

{ echo "set -$-"; COMMAND; } | sh

Don't work too hard, make some time for fun as well!
